Grassland Planning

Will your Grassland be an Island or a Sphere? In an Island, bunnies and wolves cannot move into the blue-shaded water. In a sphere, bunnies and wolves can wrap around from the East side to the West side and the North side to the South side, and vice versa, as though the Grassland was an entire planet.

Will your Grassland be Uniform or Random (or Custom)? Uniform Grassland is the same everywhere, while Random Grassland randomly assigns an amount of grass from a bank of possible values. If you want, you could learn to load a specific grassland, add geographic features like chasms, or change the range of random values.

Will you Scatter Bunnies or Place Bunnies in specific locations? (How many? Where?) This setting allows you to explore the effect of concentrating or randomizing the starting populations.

Will you Scatter Wolves or Place Wolves in specific locations? (How many? Where?) This setting allows you to explore a random setting, or a targeted release of wolfpacks.

What evidence will you seek? Are you tracking the population of bunnies and/or wolves? Looking for conditions for long-term survival? Looking for how long populations last before becoming extinct?

What is the extent of your study? How many Generations will you watch? How many times will you repeat the experiment? Why?

What settings will you use for the other factors (Grass Health, Bunny Fertility, Wolf Fertility, Hunting Skill)? Did you choose these settings for any particular reason?

Will you make any improvements in the experimental model? You will need to share these ideas with Mr. Cox in order to guarantee that the programming adjustments can be made in time to collect your data!
